WHEEL & TIRE SPECIFICATIONS
TIRE REPLACEMENT
The tires on your new vehicle provide a balance of many
characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and
correct inflation pressure. Chrysler strongly recommends that you use
tires equivalent to the originals in quality and performance when
replacement is needed. Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may
adversely affect the safety, handling and ride of your vehicle. We
recommend that you contact your original equipment tire dealer on any
questions you may have on tire specifications or capability.

BATTERY SPECIFICATIONS
Vehicle is factory equipped with a maintenance free battery.
The top of the battery is permanently sealed, and water never has to
be added, and periodic maintenance is not required either. But,
periodically check the battery terminals and battery hold-down bracket
for corrosion. Replace with a battery of the same group number as
shown on original battery's label.
CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicles equipped with
computers may lose memory data. When battery power is
restored, driveability problems may exist on some vehicles.
These vehicles may require a relearn procedure. See COMPUTER
RELEARN PROCEDURES article in the GENERAL INFORMATION
section.
CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (AIR BAG)
NOTE: See the AIR BAGS article in the ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Section.
Modifications or improper maintenance, including incorrect
removal and installation of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS),
can adversely affect system performance. DO NOT cover, obstruct or
change the steering wheel horn pad in any way, as such action could
cause improper function of the system. Use only plain water when
cleaning the horn pad. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the
air bag cover and cause improper deployment of the system.
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and
carefully follow all warnings and service precautions. See
appropriate AIR BAGS article in ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
WARNING: Any maintenance performed on or near the components of the
SRS must be performed only by an authorized dealer.
Do not permit anyone else to service, inspect maintain, or
service any SRS components or wiring. Similarly, no part of
the SRS should ever be handled or disposed of by anyone
except an authorized dealer.
Improper work on the SRS components or wiring could result in
inadvertent deployment of the airbags or could render the SRS
system inoperative. Either situation could result in serious
injury
WARNING: If the car has had any front-end damage, have the SRS system
inspected by an authorized dealer to ensure it is working
properly.
WARNING: If any of the following conditions occur, the SRS is not
working properly. Immediately have it inspected by an
authorized dealer:
* The SRS warning light does not illuminate when you start
the car.
* The SRS warning light does not go off after about 7 seconds.
* The SRS warning light illuminates while driving.

DODGE RAM 1999 Service Repair Manual CAUTION: Disconnect negative battery cable before servicing any air
bag system, steering column or passenger side dash
component. After any repair, turn ignition key to the ON

CAUTION: Disconnect negative battery cable before servicing any air
bag system, steering column or passenger side dash
component. After any repair, turn ignition key to the ON
position from passenger's side of vehicle in case of
accidental air bag inflation
AIR CONDITIONING SERVICING
WARNING: Avoid breathing R-134a refrigerant and PAG lubricant vapors,
exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat. To remove
R-134a from system use R-134a recycling equipment that meets
SAE J2210 specifications. If accidental system discharge
occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
WARNING: R-134a service equipment or vehicle A/C systems SHOULD NOT
be pressure tested or leak tested with compressed air. Some
mixtures of air/R134a have shown to be combustible at
elevated pressures. These mixtures are dangerous and may
cause fire and/or explosions. See AIR CONDITIONING SERVICE
article in GENERAL INFORMATION section.
AIR CONDITIONING MAINTENANCE
WARNING: NEVER add A/C refrigerant to correct a non-cooling problem
unless pressure gauges are connected to the system by a
certified technician. Lack of cooling may be caused by a
restriction, therefore adding refrigerant can cause a
dangerous pressure rise.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
CAUTION: The anti-lock brake system contains electronic equipment that
can be susceptible to interference caused by improperly
installed or high output radio transmitting equipment. Since
this interference could cause the possible loss of the
antilock braking capability, such equipment should be
installed by qualified professionals.
On models equipped with anti-lock brake systems, ALWAYS
observe the following cautions:
* DO NOT attempt to bleed hydraulic system without first
referring to the appropriate ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM article
in the BRAKES Section.
* DO NOT mix tire sizes. As long as tires remain close to the
original diameter, increasing the width is acceptable.
Rolling diameter must be identical for all 4 tires. Some
manufacturers recommend tires of the same brand, style and
type. Failure to follow this precaution may cause inaccurate
wheel speed readings.
* Use ONLY recommended brake fluids. DO NOT use silicone brake
fluids in an ABS-equipped vehicle.
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID SERVICE
WARNING: Make certain no fluid is spilled when the transaxle fluid
is inspected. Wipe up any spilled fluid completely.
AXLE FLUID
CAUTION: Axle lubricant should be changed whenever the axle has
